Notably, this marked the 50th time Suárez has assisted Messi in their careers, the most any teammate has ever assisted the Argentine.
Goalkeeper Drake Callender, meanwhile, is currently tied with attacker Robert Taylor as the players with most appearances in Club history with 86 across all competitions and may become the player with most appearances for Inter Miami this weekend against New England.
